1940 D300 International


Yup ... that bracing ..... or mount was in place to hold the steering column mount in its new location.
  The original piece that fit in a similar location was made of 18 gauge tin, and had stress cracks in 3 of the 4 corners.
The original location for the steering column was right at the dash lip,  but with the different box
 and seat setup I'll use it needed to be moved forward about 3 inches.
 The new bracket was made of 14 gauge strap, and was bent to fit via my  Hossfeld.
